OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug; 31 1920 Application fi1edDecember 10, 1918. Serial No. 266,158.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Janus WILLIAM HAMILTON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Vichita, in the county of Sedgwick and State ofKansas, have invented a new and useful Oil-Burner, of which thefollmving is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in that class of oil burners knownas oil-gas burners. The object of my invention is to provide an oil-gasburner adapted for use in :lurnaces, and in which there shall be meansfor directing the flames at various angles in order to impersonate theeffects of the draft upon said flames; and another object is to providemeans whereby the heat may be equally applied to the generator pipes ofthe burner. Both of said objects are obtained by the constructionillustrated in the accompanyingdrawings in which Figure 1 is a verticalsection of a boiler fire box in which my improved burner is installed,the burner bars shown in side ele vation. Fig. 2 is a top plan view ofthe burner. F 3 is a transverse section of the burner, viewed on line 33of Fig. 2. Fig. 4lis a detail view of portions of two adjacentstationary burner-tubes and the rotatably adjustable burner tubesthereon. Fig. 5 is a cross section taken 011 line 55 of Fig. 4 lookingin opposite direction to the arrows.

In Fig. 1, A is a tank for the fuel oil; B, the feed pipe; 0, is a handvalve in said pipe; Q, is the firebox.

The burner as shown comprises a continuous tube composed of lengths ofpiping.

connected by elbow couplings. The inlet tube C rises vertically frompipe B andconnects with a horizontal tube as shown in Fig. 2,'this tubebeing a part of a fiat coil of tubes all lying in one plane, as shown inFig, 3.

The terminal tube I of this coil is connected to a short downwardlyextended tube which is connected to the first stationary burner tube G.There are four of these burner tubes and they areconnected in series byelbow couplings 2, (Fig. 4-). These tubes are located directly below theintermediate generator tubes H, I. The end of the last tube G is closed.

Each stationary burner tube G is provided with a series of transverselyelongated apertures g, in the upper side thereof. Mounted loosely oneach tube G is an outer tube K, having at each end thereof ahexagonalhead L, adapted to be engaged by a wrench.

In each tube K is a series of round perforations g which register withthe slots 9 in the inclosed tube G. As the gas must issue from theperforations to be consumed it is evident that the flames may bedirected either straight up or at various angles laterally, according tothe position to which the rotatably movable tube K is turned.

here stationary perforated burner tubes alone are used, the draft of airthrough the burner toward the stack causes changes in the direction andsize of the flames and thereby causes variable heating of the generating coil. By the intelligent manipulation of the adjustable tubes inthis burner the fault just mentioned may be largely eliminated.

This burner may be supported in the firebOX in any suitable manner. InFig. 1 it is shown as resting upon a grate.

It should be noted that the tubes K are not longitudinally movable,their only movement being rotary.

Having described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by LettersPatent.

In an oil-gas burner, a coil comprising a series of straight stationarytubes, elbows connecting said tubes, outer tubes rotatably mounted uponsaid stationary tubes, the lat ter each having a series of transverselyelon gated apertures therein, and said outer tubes each having a seriesof round perforations registering with the respective apertures of thestationary tubes.
